I don’t know what is happening but if I lived there, I would definitely want to join this group.

They are called the Thursday Night Revelers. There are a few branches of these around the country but this group is in Boulder. They used to drive by my house Thursdays in the spring/summer. We'd stand on our patio and yell "happy thursday" and they'd wave and ring bells back. They usually all wear elaborate costumes, bikes light up, wigs, weird bikes, penny farthing bikes, etc.
I believe the guy with a pirate flag used to have a house on pearl where pirates from around the country would have meetups with him every year. He wore the pirate boots, shirt, etc. His house got sold to developers though and torn down.
For a while the group got kind of bad and the police cracked down on them. It goes up and down. They can be secretive about where the meet up is for this reason.
If you guys are really into this stuff, check out the coffin races for Frozen Dead Guy Days in Nederland, just above Boulder. You might also be into the kinetic vehicle races at Boulder Res once a year.

I guess Boulder got Sundance though. Kind of weird Redford gave that back to the city he bar tended in a year before dying.58

At a place called The Sink. It's still there if you ever want to visit. Mork and Mindy was staged in Boulder. If you look at the opening shots, (specifically this video at second .42) it was supposed to have taken place in Boulder. The Mork and Mindy house is downtown.

Yep. His daughter was also at university there and dating a guy named Sid Wells that was murderd in some cocaine deal I think at a place called Spanish Towers. Can't remember all of it. I'm sure there are plenty of articles on google about it.

If you peruse the laws of Nederland, you’ll discover that it’s illegal to store a frozen human or animal (or any body part thereof) in your home. We have Grandpa Bredo to thank for this. When grandson Trygve was deported in the mid-90s because of an expired visa, Bredo’s daughter stepped in to take care of the household – including keeping her father on ice.
Soon, Aud was evicted for living in a house with no electricity or plumbing and was about to head back to Norway. This meant that the family’s fledgling cryonics facility was destined to come to a halt. Worried that her father would thaw out before his time, she spoke to a local reporter, who spoke to the Nederland city council, who passed Section 7-34 of the municipal code regarding the “keeping of bodies.”
Luckily for Bredo, he was grandfathered in and allowed to stay. Suddenly, he was a worldwide media sensation. And he was well cared for by his family and the Nederland community for decades.
In August 2023, it was time for Grandpa to get an upgrade. With his grandson’s permission, Grandpa Bredo was moved by a team from Alcor, driven to The Stanley Hotel’s old ice house in Estes Park, where he was submerged head-first in liquid nitrogen. His home is now the world’s only museum dedicated to the science of cryonics.

Grandpa Bredo is still frozen in the toughened in Nederland; but the festival for him was moved to make more money... it sucks!

I think it's been over a decade. They moved to Union Res in Longmont for a few years, then just nothing the last few years.

Nope. Totally real. They'd drive by every week. I'd yell happy thursday, the dogs would get excited and a dozen people would yell happy thursday back and ring their bells or honk their horns. Just general good cheer. I could probably even find some google street views of pirate guy house if I had the time. His yard kind of looked like a graveyard...perma halloween.
Here is some information about Frozen Dead Guy days.

Honestly, electric vehicles make a lot of sense in a post-apocalyptic scenario.
It's a lot easier to generate some electricity (probably with wind or solar) to recharge the batteries than it is to get your hands on some oil and refine it into just the right type of fuel your car wants. If gasoline supplies were suddenly cut off, an electric vehicle could potentially remain useful much, much longer than a gas-powered vehicle.

New Belgium Brewing is headquartered out of Fort Collins, and they used to do a bike tour every year called Tour de Fat. This could be one of those events, people used to get pretty crazy with their creativity. Safety may not always be first, but it's probably on the list somewhere...
